Thanks, I’m considering that build, right now I’m using 3 red skills but for that build I would like to replace cursed doll with mass increase, form what I understand the catch is not using them at the same time so I’m more inclined to Mass cuz probably will be running spec/swift so the swift would negate the atk speed con and increase mov speed for raid capitain but the thing with this last one is that it only buffs those 3 red skills, right?
correct me if im wrong but i thought ambush master was for control glavier.
that’s the information I have too but I don’t understand why
https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/wbqrpi/a_discussion_about_scaling_issues_with_pinnacle/ This thread answers everything about Pinnacle. I’m switching my Glaivier to control at 1445 since I detest increased mass and having to use red skills outside of spear throw/starfall but it seems the only viable 5th engravings are increased mass/raid captain (3+ red skill build)
That’s great information, now I’m starting to see why ambush is prefered on control glavier, this gave some ideas to try, thanks!
Yeah I’ve had a long talk with the glaivier channel in the LA disc about it and consensus seems to be pinnacle is perfectly fine but at 1445 if you really want to invest and get a lot more stronger from the gold investment. control is much safer/stronger thanks to entropy + their engraving choices being really solid and the gameplay doesn’t feel as clunky since you have so much swiftness.
I wouldnt say Control is stronger nor weaker. They are on kinda the same powerlevel. I prefer Pinnacle because Control is boring for me.
The class itself is mid between the DPS classes.
how they are on the same level when pinnacle have way more crit rate and 50% crit power from buffs ?
On relic level they kinda do the same dmg (maybe pinnacle slightly more but not much).
Yes you get crit rate but with pinnacle you go spec+swift and control u go swift+crit. You will use more spells with control in the same time then pinnacle because you have faster attack speed, lower cd with almost the same engravings.
But here is a Reddit comment that write it down right: https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/w2sz3j/comment/igs8js4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
Not sure about powerlevel but personally I don’t like to lose skills so haven’t reserched anything about control and so I prefer pinnacle too.
I’ll be practicing my butt chasing skills to see if ambush master is worth for me, if not then I guess raid capitain will be next
Glaivier control have a few builds, with the strongest (requiring more experience) being going ambush master + entrophy, but u can also if u don’t main it but wanna have a decent and strong easy alt, build it with 4pc dominion 2 nightmare and forget ambush master, glaivier crit pretty often even outside back attack buff, which make removing keep blunt (people will go wild now) and putting even spirit absorption makes it feel better and combo very well with raid capt, pinnacle have not much choices, even with kr buff it still lack what control have = choices, weapon swap animation is not fast, then u have to charge the spear, that takes a precious few seconds just to use a single skill, while a very good entrophy class like shock scrapper can do her full rotation in the same time.
So, how would your build look like? Control, grudge, spirit absorption, raid capitan and ?
Control goes crit/swift, right? does she cap mov speed with that? not sure about SA with glavier tho…
i use spirit absorption on mine, work just fine, it changes the pacing of the class, ofc swapping to adrena gives more dps, but for a alt i rather enjoy the gameplay than tryhard the max dps possible, so my build goes with control, grudge, raid and spirit, if 5 engraving, adrena goes to 5, with 2 night 4 dominion it work like a charm, back attack itself (without any engraving or entrophy) increases ur crit rate, but honestly for glaivier control, if u are not invested into the ‘‘i must go behind at all cost’’ meta, u can just play it braindead, control is not a burst class, theres no semi burst like pinnacle, so ambush + entrophy job is to make it stronger since it feels weak, control playstyle is similar to reflux full swiftness, if you with 2 night/4domin or even 4 night/2domin can have a dps uptime higher than a control ambush + entrophy, u will end doing basically the same or closer dps.
Oooooh very nice! I’ll give it a thought, I have to give those sets a closer look, thanks for thw tips!
Koreans mocking us with Spirit Absorption for a good reason. That engraving is totally useless especially on glavier. Thats 1 engraving wasted.

like i said, it changes the pacing, not everything is about doing the highest dps possible, enjoying the class is also a must.
But I guess you enjoying it more, if you have dmg with that class.
implying it does no dmg due to spirit ab, same as not doing any dmg if no grudge ? okay next.
I don’t get why this guy is being so aggressive about it. You acknowledged that it’s less damage and you do it for feel over performance.
Now I would look at your build, snort, judge internally but still invite you as long as everything else was in order and it’s valtan or vykas, it’s not like DPS is the issue with those anyways.
i apologize for over reacting, my bad
